Is a hedgerow more economically feasible than, say, a chain-link fence or any other kind of fence, really (fences are expensive)? About the same? More expensive? What about comparative difficulty? Is it the kind of thing that takes years to grow out?
I'm not exactly sure. A chain link fence is a one time expense as opposed to a hedge which is a living, growing thing and so needs continuing upkeep. And yes, it can take a couple of years before the hedge is ready to be laid... There's also the used space to consider, as a hedge is a lot wider than a fence.
I guess it really depends on your specific situation.
My dad built a house out in the sticks. He initially built a fence out of pallets, but it didn't stand the test of time. Upon looking into various fence options, he realized that even the cheap ones aren't cheap. I don't think he's ever considered a hedgerow, so I wondered if it might be an option. Aside from the cost, I doubt he'd have the patience for it, from the sound of it.
